On this day it´s been 19 years since AGTP first opened its doors on PCPages, and we have five releases to celebrate!

A couple of months ago I was talking with TheMajinZenki and a few other folks about the English release of Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers, and thinking that it might be nice for folks to have a little context for some of the more esoteric pulls from Banpresto´s back catalog. We got it in our heads that it´d be a fun idea to do all five primary entries in Banpresto´s old The Great Battle series, giving people a glimpse into the history of Fighter Roar, Compatible Kaiser, Dark Brain, and the rest, and we figured that since they were relatively small games individually that it wouldn´t be all that tough to do. The job wasn´t without challenges, but here we have it!

I´ll be posting further updates about the states of various projects tomorrow, but for now I want to give these five games the spotlight. Enjoy!

1. Seems the titlescreen cursor is missing/invisible. I'm sure I have the correct ROM.

2. In 2 Players mode, The text on top has garbled texts for "Character Select". Also, the graphics name of Great and Roar are still in Japanese, but I would understand if its left out for stylistic purposes.

3. The ending seems to cut off during the end story, automatically brings up the banpresto logo and stuff...

Yep, we were made aware of these shortly after launch. Last night I fixed the GB5 title screen and re-added the cursor to LFT. Planning on doing the 2P select screen over lunch. Updates should be coming fairly soon.

The shopkeeper says "Thanks! Your friends need anything?" after picking EXIT, even though playing on 1 player mode. I believe he should only say "Thanks." on one balloon, then "Your friend need anything?" on the next balloon, like the images below:

In the Japanese version, the shopkeeper only says "Thank you very much." then adds "Your friend need anything?" when on 2 player mode.

In the TGBIV has a bug in this part, when the head of the armor attacks it goes all the way down and disappears and that way the boss can not be destroyed, in the original unpatched game it does not happen.

The most important thing about this event is:Welcome back romhacking scene Gideon Zhi, with so much time without news I thought you were retired definitely, it is a pleasure and a satisfaction to know that you continue actively, thank you ...
